The Educational Psychology and Research PhD program equips students to become cutting-edge researchers and skilled practitioners for academic, research, or professional careers. This interdisciplinary program covers human development across the lifespan (from infancy to aging), learning sciences (including motivation and cognitive processes), research methodologies (both quantitative and qualitative), and program assessment.
This doctoral program specifically trains students for specialized research careers. Those not intending to pursue research should consider alternative graduate programs.
Key program goals include: (1) advancing the field through practical research (including publications and academic presentations); (2) preparing graduates for university faculty positions or research roles in professional environments; (3) cultivating leadership abilities for professional organizations through research-informed practice.

A Baccalaureate or Master’s Degree: The applicant must provide an official transcript showing an earned bachelor’s or master’s degree, depending on program requirements. In cases, where a program’s accrediting body allows alternate admissions standards, exceptions may be made.

This office has access to your transcript. The degree must have been awarded by an accredited college or university. Only transcripts received directly from an issuing institution are considered official. Personal copies are not acceptable as official documents.
GPA: The applicant must have earned an acceptable grade point average, typically a minimum of 2.5 on a scale of 4.0, but departments may make exceptions for students whose overall GPA does not adequately reflect their ability to succeed in their chosen field.
International students must provide evidence of English Language Proficiency.
